Description

Summary

Create a <pf-v6-tree-view> web component implementing the PatternFly v6 Tree view component.

Hierarchical tree display for nested data, with expandable nodes, checkboxes, and action menus.

Sub-components

  • <pf-v6-tree-item> - Individual tree node

Requirements

  • MUST implement PFv6 visual designs
  • MUST provide end-user feature parity with @patternfly/react-core TreeView
  • MAY adjust element API to leverage web platform strengths
  • SHOULD maintain CSS custom property theming compatibility
  • SHOULD expose useful CSS shadow parts

Element-specific considerations

  • Tree ARIA pattern: role="tree" on root, role="treeitem" per node, role="group" on child lists
  • aria-expanded on expandable nodes, aria-selected for selection
  • Keyboard: Arrow Up/Down navigate siblings, Arrow Right expands/enters children, Arrow Left collapses/exits, Home/End jump to first/last, Enter/Space select
  • hasCheckboxes variant: each node has checkbox; aria-checked for tri-state (indeterminate when partial children selected)
  • hasActions variant: action button per node (e.g., edit, delete)
  • hasBadges variant: badge on each node showing child count
  • hasGuides variant: vertical guide lines
  • isNested for compact nested style
  • onSelect event with node data; onExpand / onCollapse
  • activeItems prop for controlled selection
  • Search/filter: onSearch callback or toolbar integration
  • Data-driven API: data prop array vs slotted <pf-v6-tree-item> children - evaluate both approaches

Checklist

Implementation

  • API per .claude/ADVICE.md
  • CSS uses v6 tokens, logical properties, nesting

Demos

  • Demos match patternfly.org naming/structure
  • CSS custom properties match computed styles from patternfly.org (Chrome MCP)
  • Visual parity verified via Chrome MCP

Tests

  • Public API covered (attributes, properties, events, slots)
  • a11ySnapshot assertions

Reviews

  • /review-demos passes
  • /review-a11y passes
  • eslint and stylelint pass
